When this comes round again

West Sussex County Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 98 notices, roughly one every 9 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

6% of West Sussex County Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

What this notice demands of you

1 named, none in explicit obligation language. Each one is quoted from the notice.

Ofsted registrationRegulator registrations
The session will be of particular interest to Ofsted-registered providers, organisations considering opening new children’s homes, and wider stakeholders who want to support residential care in West Sussex and the surrounding area.

Matched against the notice text, so this is a floor — the tender pack will demand things the notice never mentions. “Says must” means the quoted sentence itself used obligation language; anything ambiguous is left as a mention.
